1 Answer Hello Bruce, To remove the top of the washer you will pull the unit out to access the back of the unit. You will remove the screws at the top holding the top panel brackets 4810ER3021A in place. Once removed, the main top will slide toward the rear of the unit and lift up and off. Read More...
Matt C July 29, 2016 for Model Number WM2301HW The center solenoid valve on the cold water inlet is leaking. I took the solenoid off and cleaned it, making sure the plunger moves freely and the spring was intact. Still leaks, quite badly. Does the whole solenoid assembly need replaced? It's just the one valve that's leaking, the other two are fine.
1 Answer Hello Matt. You will need to replace the complete water valve assembly to fix the issue. Thanks. Read More...
Dewayne July 07, 2016 for Model Number WM2496HSM Washer only dispenses liquid detergent on long cycles but on short cycles the liquid detergent remains in holder with water. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Dewayne, This can be the water valve 5220FR2075L or the control 6871ER1104A. To determine the cause, start the unit on a cycle giving the issue and test for 120Vac to the water valve during the detergent dispense. If no voltage, replace the control. If voltage is present, replace the valve. Read More...
Paul July 05, 2016 for Model Number LG Sensor Dry DLE2050W Washer The cold water valve assembly is leaking on my laundry washer. I read the comments and see the parts numbers that may apply. Would you provide the part number for the cold water valve assembly that I may purchase to replace the failed assembly on the model I provided? Thank you, Paul
1 Answer Hello Paul. The model number you provided is for a dryer, not a washer. We will need to have the washer model number. Thanks. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Bravo. You will need to check the water valve and see if it is bad and will need to be replaced. Read More...
Bill S May 24, 2016 for Model Number WM8000HVA My unit is leaking water out the vent location in the back of the appliance just below the water inlet nozzles. We are not using too much soap, do you know what else might be causing this to happen? Is it faulty inlet water valves or perhaps the pressure switch is not working properly?
1 Answer Bill, The pressure switch isn't likely, but the fill valve(s) could be the problem, but it's more likely to be a loose connection or cracked hose or connection at the back of the dispenser assembly. Remove power, remove the top panel(three screws across the back, and slide the top panel back an inch or so). restore power and start the washer, you'll find the leak. Read More...
Bob May 11, 2016 for Model Number LG front load washer WM2077CW I replaced the hot water fill valve and now I get a hammering sound. I've checked the hose and water flow are both OK. Any advise on the possible cause?
1 Answer Hello Bob. It sounds like a water pressure issue coming into the valve. It may be to much. Read More...
Deanna January 14, 2016 We are having to replace the water inlet valve on my Sears front loading washing machine every 6 months. Part DC62-30312J, VALVE WATER; AC110 - 12V. What is causing this repeated failure? We do clean the screens often and the filter at the bottom of the machine. The machine is only 4 years old.
1 Answer Hello DeAnna. Depending on what is causing the valve to fail, it sounds like the water supply coming into the valve is bad or extremely high pressure. Read More...
Laurie July 25, 2015 for Model Number WM2487HWMA My washer fills up (gradually) with water when the unit is not running. Doesn't matter if the door is open or closed. If I do not run a spin cycle to clear the water, it eventually spills out on to the floor. Is this likely a defective water inlet valve? If so, do you recommend changing both hot and cold, even if only one has failed? Thank you
2 Answers Hello Laurie, Either the cold water valve 5220FR2008F, or the hot water valve 5220FR2006H, is not closing completely and will have to be replaced. I would replace both valves to ensure no water damage occurs. Read More...

2 Answers Hello Laurie. You will need to check and see if the hot valve 5220FR2006H or the cold valve 5220FR2008F is leaking on the unit. One of the valves is bad and is allowing water to leak into the tub. Read More...
